ITF World Championships

The first ITF World Championships were held in Montreal, Canada in 1974. A few Kiwis attended World Championships as individuals in the 1980's, but it wasn't until 1994 in Malaysia that New Zealand began sending teams in force.

New Zealand won a Bronze medal at 1994 Champs and since then has not looked back. We now have many athletes training seriously to compete at world champs level and our performances are steadily improving.
